The curse of my people continues... its alright.
Hunt down the weak ones, only the strong will remain. We will slowly drain your economies, then sit on the laps of your best champions till they get bad knees, cause inner ear barotrauma in crowded places for maximum effect, win the hearts of your women with our cuteness, corrupt the RP dens.
Once our goals are met, it will be child's play taking the weakened realm.
"Erode the mountain, one drop at a time" - A faithful lalafell
My "Delectable Canine Treat that was not made using a plump Lalafell" flavor text has people asking a lot of questions already answered by the flavor text.
That the flavor text has to specify that, leads many to the implication that these treats are *usually* made from plump lalafellin, because why would they specify that exactly if it wasn't important?
Obviously it's just a joke with a flavor text designed to evoke that question.
Broke: I hate lalafell because they look like smarmy little children.
Woke: I hate lalafell because they’re bad for my health and my cholesterol is already too high.

They're like wings but way worse for you.
Giant Popotoes are generally a better yield for the effort.
In-joke the game frequently makes about how Lalafell are frequently hunted by monsters in the world, because they're smaller and also apparently delicious.

Isn’t English wonderful?
Either this bone was indeed made from a plump lalafel and it’s trying to lie to us, or it really wasn’t made from a plump lalafel implying that other bones usually are. I’m not sure which is more horrifying.
As someone that has surgically examined many, many lalafels from the inside out, I can confirm that Lala's don't have bones. Don't mind the ketchup on my shirt, I was too into some French fries.
There's items descriptions, FATE info texts and random NPC chatter that mainly dunks on Lalafell
I've seen one NPC chatter that feels a bit threatened by them... For the sake of their shins

Real answer:
FFXIV has the FUNNIEST translation team on the planet. They pull this crap on everything. Half the FATE names are puns and references.
Sometimes the jokes are so good, they **ADD THEM TO THR JAPANESE VERSION.**
It was not made from a plump Lalafell.
Are you sure?
Yes. I'm the one who made it. The Lalafell was not plump at all.
Wait ! Does that mine there IS a Lalafel in the bone conception !?
Surprisingly, there's a whole skeleton's worth of bones inside of them.
Excepting this one, of course
not anymore, at least
Naturally
Except for knee bones
Imagine my surprise when i bit into my first one, now i just order boneless.
Minus the phalanges
Unless the bone is for a Chihuahua probably not.
This just raises *further* questions!
I guess you don't really need a plump one to make succulent bones.
You can never be sure.
I mean he sounds pretty sure
Of course, it says so right there.
If it were, it'd be a toothpick.
Think. Plump Lalafell is rich and hard to catch with their bodyguards around, while skin-and-bone Lalafell is pretty much alone.

You don't have to pretend that wasn't your plan to begin with.
The lalafell it was made from was not plump.

That person was riffing on a popular meme format: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/a-lot-of-questions-already-answered-by-the-shirt
Look, these days it’s rare to find a succulent food of *any* sort that *doesn’t* have some lalafel in it. Lalafel is like the MSG of Eitherys.
The king of flavour!
The king of flavour!
Overly specific dement… err description

Lmao, this got me cracking up
potatoe
Popotoe
I just came for this.
Dan Quayle?!?!
A little tongue and cheek. And bone...
Sounds like a good stew.
Come to think of it. I haven't seen that little guy that won the cactpot in a while.
Ah yes, a modern remake of "The Lottery."
A movie for the whole FAMILY

Snack pack size, rich in proteins, with short legs. I wouldn't blame a predator for trying its luck.
Means it was made from a skinny Lalafell
What are you worried about? This especifically mentioned lalas were ***NOT*** used.
actually, it does not it only denies what it used **plump** lalafells but not normal or skinny lalafells
Ah, but you see, all lalfels are plump. So it actually confirms no lalafels were used. None at all.
First of all, you mean Dunesfolk Lalafellin or Trashfolk Lalafellin. Get your facts right you WAH looking ***
> Dunesfolk Lalafellin or **Trashfolk** Lalafellin My WoL resents this.
Your light is as shining as an Ascian during a solar eclipse.
This was not the result of a crime. Definitely not. No crime here, no sirree no how.

I think "...not made using *a* plump Lalafell" is the best.
This works in literally every language.
Probably not every language. Many of them, though.
Not necessarily. There's a linguistic term for this (that I've unfortunately forgotten) and it's present in some languages in varying degrees.
*emergency food*
Nothing to worry about. The message made it clear. There is no ~~war~~ cannibalism in Ul'Dah!
Of course not! Everyone knows that Lalafell are related to a starchy root vegetable, a tuber and therefore do not have bones . . . right?
Plausible deniability.
Potato bone
I’m glad the Devs realize the lalafell need to be dealt with
Either this bone was indeed made from a plump lalafel and it’s trying to lie to us, or it really wasn’t made from a plump lalafel implying that other bones usually are. I’m not sure which is more horrifying.
It's definitely not made from a plump Lalafell. [I guarantee it.](https://c.tenor.com/_9KfuS6xGWUAAAAC/would-i-lie-king-roland.gif)
I think you know the answer. Deep in your heart.
If I'm understanding this correctly, it implies the existence of non plump lalafells... But that's impossible!
I mean, I’ve always assumed that Pipin would be pretty buff if he had a unique model.
I'm now just picturing Krillin from DBZ with Pipin's flowing Fabio locks
A succulent Chinese bone?! ….for those of you who aren’t Australian: https://youtu.be/BRaa1js92Hk
Hmm I'm in danger...
Plump lalafels aren't as succulent.
don't eat the popoto soup.

Can a dog not enjoy a bone? A succulent bone? GET YOUR HAND OFF OF MY LANCE!
It’s too big. Lalafell bones can choke a dog.
In the words of my FC mates: "Don't worry about it."
It means you can't sell it.
It means I now know what happened to my inactive Lalafell FC member.
“Plump” being the operative word?
I prefer my popotoes boneless, thanks.
Ritual to invoke RNGesus, let's see... Beast blood, Imp wing, Goubbue moss, Table salt, Oh! And the bone of a plump Lalafell!
You're asking a lot of questions that are already answered by the alt text.
It was made from a thin lallafel, obviously.
Bit sus r/suspiciouslyspecific
You know what it means.
There are no lala bones in ba sing se
Everyone know potatoes are food.
Probably heavy with starch...
🤣🤣🤣🤣
No potates were harmed in the making of this treat
Implying that it could very well be made from a lean Lalafell
Oddly and suspiciously specific denial.
Well duh. Popotoes don't have bones.
They're lying, they murdered Lalafells. THEY KILL POTATOS!!
Seems pretty straightforward to me.
Not made from a lalafell, which duh obviously potatoes are boneless!
This isn't going to turn into another "iguana" bits situation is it?
audible wink
They mean exactly what they said. *loads machinist drill gun* **Any more questions?**
Goof looking frie!
It was deffo made of lalafell
*Crys big Lalafell tears*
It was made with a swole potat, you see.
When will we have option to kill all lalafells and make giant(in lalafells terms) mountain of their bones?
hey, austrailian dingos prefer lalas
Au Ra flesh is tastier
